Above are the books I have brought with me on Holiday.  As those who follow me know that along with Quilting, Reading is my other passion.  One of my Aims at the beginning of the year was to do more reading and I have certainly tried, along with also doing our Little Book Club with Jayne and also listening to Boots when I am at Eldest’s working.  So far I have been getting through more books and this has encouraged me to read more physical books as well.  

However at the end of June I went for my annual eye test and my old Optician had retured and the new one said I needed an uptick in my perscription.  However he felt I would benefit from some new lenses which help those who work al day on a computer and then with reading.  They are in fact like a graduated lense.  I decided to given them a try although I was a little apprehensive. Well I have given them a month and I am not getting on very well with them at all.  Of course there is nothing I can do whilst I am in Scotland but have an appointment when I get back to sort them out!  

This has meant that I have not done as much reading as I would have liked due to these goasses.  However I have read Jayne’s and My’s Book Club Book this month which I chose:

Jayne reads my Blog so I will have to not give the game away too much with I loved it! I chose it as it is definitely something I wold not normally pick up but I wanted to be fair about choosing the books to not always have the same genre which I know we can fall into.  My only stiputlation from my point of view when Jayne and I were sorting our Litte Book Club out wa that I would not read any deep or meaningful books such as “The Kite Runner” or “The Tattooist of Auschwitz”!  I am sure they are tremendous books but I read books to escape and that style of book I would not want to read.  This is why I have never joined a book club because whenever I have spoken to anyone in the Club they end up always readinf this type of book!  

Anyway back to ” Funny Story” Daphne is getting married to Peter and they have moved back to his home town, where his parents live and all his old friends, including his best friend from Kindergarton, Petra.  Petra is living with Milkes.  Just before Daphne’s wedding Peter says he cannot marry her as he has realised that he loves Petra and she loves him.  That night he leaves to go on holiday with Petra and asks Daphne to move out of the home they share!  Daphne  loses her home and her Fiancé!  She does however meet Miles who offers her his spare room and they both are miserable together.  One drunken evening they decided to take a picture together and post it on Social media and make out that they are now a couple to get back at their horrendous ex’s.  Of course trouble begins going down this path.  

It is a great summer read.  Very easy but well written and I will now be buying Ms Henry’s other books!

When we are home I will go through all my other books I brought away because I also missed World Book Lovers Day on August 9th!
